I'm sightseeing. I heard on the Kobo thread that India has some cheap spots to visit. I might just hop a plane there next.

I don't travel unless it's free. Last time I took a trip I lost my card as World Pay reported me as fraud and my new card I protect and use PayPal instead.

Thank you for posting that. It's a cause dear to my heart as my son has type 1 Diabetes. It's also at Kobo.

Using some special tools and Kobo Desktop I was able to get a epub copy of the book for my Reader. I am so happy! I wanted these books forever! Never did I expect to get them for free!

Also free there (although not Romance) - Bloodchild by Octavia E. Butler

I had never done this, but just did the same. Very easy to do thanks to Alf and friends.

Nice road trip. And I only needed help once. I deserve a gold star for that I did not even have a problem putting in Calibre or moving to my Kindle

Really did not need something else to read but hey it's free and IT FREE!!!!

It will still need some cleanup in Calibre using Edit book to get rid of the kepub elements. There's JavaScript to remove from the HTML files and the script itself needs to be deleted.

I don't know that they really need to be removed, but I did remove kobo.js and...

<!-- kobo-style -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/kobo.js"/>
<style type="text/css" id="koboSpanStyle">.koboSpan { -webkit-text-combine: inherit; }</style>

It doesn't appear to change anything for a non-Kobo reading app though it displays fine just as it does with Kobo's junk left in. There's all the KoboSpan crud I suppose one could remove too, but I guess I don't care as long as the book displays okay.

In the thread of the plugin ModifyEpub there's a version which cleans all those elements by itself.

Worldpay bit me this week (real card, so able to fix it to work again), when I tried to pay my membership at LonCon (hugos are in London this year).

I really love summer and the heat myself. But... my bunnies hate summer. Well not just my bunnies actually bunnies in general. I always feed between 6 - 8 am. Now since it has gotten above 50 degree they stop eating until night time. Changing my sleep pattern to feed them. I have been freaking out the last 5 days because it seemed like they were not eating. A million horrible thoughts ran thru my head. And nothing is wrong just it has warmed up. It is to early for me to have the a/c on. I have two ceiling fans moving above them but I guess that is not enough. I know they have fur but really don't see how they can be warm. I am still wearing winter (fleece) pj's.


Just I allow my pets to rule my life

Okay Blossom or someone, where are the books at in the Kobo app for PC. I found the folder on my hard drive but I can't find any books and my library has synced
